This triggered Monalisa Stephen’s advocacy for body positivity and how Teni’s song was a slap on what she stands for.
Taking to the Instagram story, Monalisa condemned the Sugarmummy of Lagos for using and dumping the ‘Fat Community.’

“For all y’all celeb who we supported because you’re fat and flourishing. But after you gain the fanbase and lose weight which is not the problem.
Lose weight in peace Don’t be fat phobic now and say “I remember when I was fat. Fat na bad thing. But you gain sympathy and support from the fat community to get there. Be nice. Fat no be disease Shut up already and lose your weight in peace.”
In reaction, Teni wrote in a tweet, “I ain’t going back and forth with no dumb Monalisa, that ain’t who Lojay sang about.”

“Na God go punish una” – Burna Boy blasts aggrieved fans after starting show meant for 7pm at 3am (Video)

Popular Afrobeats singer, Burna Boy has lashed out at fans mocking him after arriving 8 hours late for his concert in Lagos.

It was gathered that the singer had arrived at 3am for his show which was slated for 7pm.
Fans who had waited hours for his arrival began mocking him by booing at him when he finally turned up.
However, this seemed to have maddened the Grammy Award-winning singer who called out all they had done to him the previous year.
He pointed out how they had accused him of shooting someone at Cubana Club and alleged that his mum used to dance for Fela Kuti.
The Odogwu crooner added that regardless of what they had said about him in the past, he’s still turned up for the show; he finished up by jokingly saying to fans: ‘na God go punish una’.

Osimhen is the best striker right now

Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku has said that Nigerian international Victor Osimhen is the ‘best striker’, presumably in the Italian topflight league.

Lukaku said this while speaking to Italian television channel Sky Sport Italia on Sunday, January 1, ahead of Wednesday’s match against Serie A leaders Napoli.
Osimhen’s terrific form for Napoli has seen him lauded by a number of Serie A legends, among them ex-AS Roma captain Francesco Totti and former AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi. The Nigerian footballer is currently Serie A’s leading scorer with nine goals from nine matches.

Commenting on Osimhen’s goalscoring exploits, Lukaku said;
“Spalletti has done a great job, we have to say.
“They [Napoli] have really strong players. I’ve been out and seen many of their games. Napoli are in a good moment. Osimhen scores many goals, [Piotr] Zielinski is well, Kvara [Khvicha Kvaratskhelia], on the left, [Hirving] Lozano or [Matteo] Politano on the right.
“Osimhen is really strong. Now he’s the best striker. We have to be honest. He’s strong and he’s doing really well for Napoli. They are first in the standings. We have respect, but not fear”.

Manchester United back-up goalkeeper Martin Dubravka recalled by Newcastle

Martin Dubravka has been recalled from Manchester United by Newcastle mid-way through his one-year loan deal at Old Trafford.
The Slovakian goalkeeper made just two appearances for Manchester United and they were both in the Carabao Cup.

His competitive debut came in their 4-2 victory against Aston Villa and his last game was the 2-0 win against Burnley on December 21. The goalkeeper made two errors that almost led to a Burnley goal, sparking fury amongst the fanbase.
Dubravka failed to make a single Premier League appearance for United as he failed to dislodge first-choice goalkeeper, David De Gea.
Confirming his return to Newcastle, Manchester United said in a statement;

“Martin Dubravka has been recalled from his season-long loan to Manchester United by his parent club Newcastle United. We would like to thank Martin for his contribution during his time with our club, and wish him all the best for the future.”
With Dubravka gone, ex-Burnley stopper Tom Heaton is the only other first-team option available after Dean Henderson joined Nottingham Forest on loan last summer.

Chelsea has reportedly reached an agreement with Dutch club, Monaco, to sign Benoit Badiashile for £34 million.

The Athletic reported that the two clubs have reached a “total agreement” for the transfer of the 21-year-old French footballer, and the London-based club is now scheduling his medical ahead of an official announcement.
Badiashile who is expected to sign a long-term deal at Stamford Bridge after completing his medicals, is Chelsea’s second signing of the January window. The Blues had signed Ivorian striker Datro Fofana from Molde for a reported £10 million.

Chelsea currently sits ninth in the Premier League after 15 games and they will be hoping that Badiashile, along with other January signings, can give them fresh hope in the race for Champions League football.
It is also speculated that Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos and Argentinian midfielder Enzo Fernandez are on the English club’s radar.
